Got some cool ancient silver from my SS! Thank you for these fun pieces. I've got a lot of research ahead of me - although one is indicated to be...
Wow. That does seem pretty harshly graded. I would have thought 63 or 64.
Bought it already, at not too far above melt. I'm debating keeping it as a type example as I'm not planning to collect the whole series.
I'd say AU-55 to 58 & the dullness hints at cleaning to me too.
I'm leaning towards ms64. Beautiful example of a coin that's often weakly struck.
D'oh! Yes, I did.
As mentioned in another thread, these incuse relief designs can be quite tough to grade. How would you score this 1911 Quarter Eagle? [ATTACH]...
I'm having trouble assigning a grade here. What label would you hang on this pre-Civil War lass? It looks like she picked up a bit of the pox. Is...

I'm not sure about the grade on these, nor am I sure if the sell anywhere close to their Redbook values for the grade. Any observations...
Ms64+
Shouldn't there be raised metal on one edge if this is PMD caused by crimping/cutting? If you look at the closeup photos, I'm only seeing absent...
Have you tried refreshing the page? Usually when I get that error its due to a poor internet connection that timed out while loading the media.
I could use some help grading one of the nicer Morgans I picked up recently. I'm reasonably sure that this is mint state, but the "guess the...
So true.
I've never seen anything like this before. Why would someone take wire cutters to a Morgan? Was this a rough assay to check the silver that anyone...
Wowza. That's beautiful!
How many pages are devoted to the 1836? Happy hunting!
I went with 66, as these are rarely struck this clearly and the luster is impressive. Trade dollars are awfully tough though & most of my...
Should Die Cracks affect grade? I was under the impression that die cracks are a designation, like Red or Full Bell Lines & occur independent from...
Separate names with a comma.
